Well yes, they're called "private". Often either illegal, it offends some powerful people or the creator doesn't give a shit and may just post a link on a forum as a thanks. Respect to those who put it out in the open! A

Yeah, I'm making stainless/steel high pressure containers/barrels/pipes. I'll tell you working with 15mm+ stainless is nothing like ~2mm PC case grade steel or aluminum :D Very hard but also very forgiving, which is

IME, if it worked fine for a year and has less than 100TB written, it's good for another 3-4. They usually fail early or very late. Assuming good cooling.

That's fantastic, congrats, you have realized how pointless your opinion is online. The only thing that matters and that can't be replicated is doing and showing . Got a prototype/product? Show it (before ProGPT can copy it

It can be a case of a factory running things like that. Pretty common in the US (with immigrants) and EU (again, immigrants). Except Chinese factories are huge and aplenty, so they would "win" by numbers.

It comes in any profession. Switch to soemjting that you would like doing, pretty much. And I don't mean another language. You may need something completely different. Metalworking, chemistry, robotics, whatever you can find that you w

Basically don't be a middleman. I bought a cover set for my Legion 5 Pro, and the best one was made in China, available only in the US. Fortunately the price is low enough to avoid extra duties so Amazon will ship it for $10 overseas w

Why not invest in both? Besides, the cost of designs pales in comparison to the cost of producing locally.

Oh please. Plenty of jobs that are worse. Plenty of immigrants, too, with plenty of loopholes to fuck them over.

What do you call the infatuation with ducking over small businesses and startups? It's tied into the culture, tbh, but you know, at least make it easier for someone to start, fail and start again. Even forming a company is a major stru

Everyone just pretends there wasn't a time when people were spending years of their life in an MMO. That was ruined by games trying to appeal to more mainstream people (with less hardcore Features like losing all your possessions upon

Where does the math work out? In much of Europe, charging instead of fueling is around 2x more expensive per KW of useful energy and that's with diesel/petrol being 2 Euros/Liter. And we're not even getting into the redu

I was an early adopter of "the Internet" in the 00s. Nowadays I'm "too old to know/use X/Y/Z". Damn kids, I helped build this sheet! :D

I wanted to say you need to create new habits and a schedule. With medication you can (finally) do it, but you simply don't know how. You can self-help, but external help would work much better.

This is what I would've thought not even a year ago. Having tried pretty much all the stimulants (oh DNMs how I love you) and currently taking one, I almost can't believe I have to say medication alone is not enough.

Slavery, fucking L. There are villages without proper taxation or any public services. Paying in labour works as an alternative. What stops anyone from using a kitchen knife to stab someone to death? If you look at it that way, you'll

No, we know why: the people. The governments, the culture/desires. And I don't mean only Africa or Asia, (before someone calls me racist). Any country has had this problem. The simplest solution is to instate mandatory community s

I mean, yeah, they're great, but come on. Most of the important stuff runs on stuff that's decades old.

Committing to SERPs is challenging. Unless your domain itself has your full name, a Medium article with your name in there will rank higher than your personal blog... Although I remember there being some option to verify a website for name

Now do one for Deutsche Bahn :D There was some news a few weeks ago where DB was saying train delays/cancellations were due to sabotage. Probably by Russian agents. Sure thing DB.

I have just bought an American Quest 2 and found out the Pico 4 (with new pancake lenses) launches next week for the same price. Am so kicking myself. I'll sell the Q2 at a loss and buy the Pico.

Lol fork off, it highly depends on your schedule and type of work. I have a very unusual eating schedule right now and have lost nearly all the fat I gained when I was working from home and eating early.

In Europe, PayPal is PayPal circa 2010. Everyone knows it and it's too convenient - make account, add card and bank, pay wherever. Seller accounts seem to get shafted on the regular but they still keep using it.
